Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Ministry of Transport, Socialist Republic of Vietnam (MOT) Transport Development and Strategy Institute (TDSI) THE STUDY ON THE NATIONAL TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY IN THE SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM (VITRANSS) Technical Report No. 1 TRANSPORT SURVEY AND DATABASE July 2000 ALMEC CORPORATION PACIFIC CONSULTANTS INTERNATIONAL PREFACE During the period of the Study on the National Transport Development Strategy in Vietnam (VITRANSS), various technical papers have been prepared by different Study Team members in various occasions to facilitate the discussions with counterpart team, concerning subsector agencies and to document major findings and outputs produced in the process of the Study. These papers have been organized into a series of technical reports (See Table A below) which intend to provide more detailed background information for descriptions and discussions made on key study components and issues. These technical reports are working documents of the Study which, however, will be useful for further reference, by the counterpart team and related subsector agencies.

However, supplemental traffic surveys and/or data collection is needed to update the transport database. For river and air transport, the scarcity of existing data requires a considerable number of field surveys to obtain the actual situation of traffic and transport. It is, however, relatively easy to obtain the needed statistical data.

However, due to the large difference in precipitation between the rainy and dry seasons, the type and size of riverboats, as well as the type of cargo, may change significantly by period of the year. Its influence on land transport may also be significant. Hence, it is imperative to conduct field surveys both during the dry and rainy seasons to understand the real traffic situation in Vietnam. 1.2 Survey Objectives In the VITRANSS, the primary objectives to conduct transport surveys are 1) to prepare the current interprovincial passenger/cargo origin-destination (OD) matrices by mode and 2) to grasp the transport industry in Vietnam. For this purpose, the following various transport surveys were conducted. 1) Road Traffic Survey 2) River Traffic Survey 3) Supplemental Road/River Traffic Survey 4) Passenger/Driver Interview Survey at Transport Terminals 5) Transport Industry Survey 1.3 Basic Considerations in the Conduct of Transport Surveys 1) Classification of Transported Cargo In general, transport mode varies depending on the cargo’s durability, packing type, market price, etc. Although major cargoes transported in Vietnam at present are mostly agricultural, transport of mining and industrial cargoes will become more significant in the future. From the standpoint of transport planning, it is necessary to identify the suitable transport mode for specific cargo item in relation to production, consumption and transport. In the initial stages of data compilation, therefore, cargo classification should be consistent with the mode of transport that is and
